Familiarity with the various Azure services
Regions:
A region is a geographical area on the planet that contains one, or
multiple datacenters that are nearby and connected with a low-
latency network. When you deploy a resource in Azure, you'll need
to choose the region where you want your resource deployed.

Key Azure Services and Their Common Use Cases
a. Compute Services
1. Azure Virtual Machines (VMs)
Use Cases: Running Windows and Linux virtual machines in the cloud,
hosting applications, disaster recovery, and running development and
test environments.
2. Azure App Services
Use Cases: Hosting web apps, RESTful APIs, and mobile backends. It
supports .NET, .NET Core, Java, Ruby, Node.js, PHP, or Python.
3. Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)
Use Cases: Simplifying the deployment, management, and operations
of Kubernetes. Running containerized applications.
Key Azure Services and Their Common Use Cases
Networking Services
1. Azure Virtual Network
Use Cases: Creating a logically isolated network in Azure. Connects
Azure resources securely with each other, the internet, and on-premises
networks.
2. Azure Load Balancer
Use Cases: Distributing incoming network traffic across multiple
servers to ensure no single server becomes overwhelmed.
3. Azure Content Delivery Network (CDN)
Use Cases: Delivering high-bandwidth content by caching data at
strategically placed physical nodes across the world.
Key Azure Services and Their Common Use Cases
Storage Services
1. Azure Blob Storage
Use Cases: Storing massive amounts of unstructured data, such as text
or binary data. Serving images or documents directly to a browser.
2. Azure File Storage
Use Cases: Replacing or supplementing on-premises file servers. Lift-
and-shift applications that use native file system APIs to share file data
across applications.
3. Azure Disk Storage
Use Cases: Providing high-performance, durable block storage for
Azure VMs.
Key Azure Services and Their Common Use Cases
Database Services
1. Azure SQL Database
Use Cases: Running relational databases in the cloud. Supporting existing
SQL Server applications.
